nepalisahila i kinda got what you said, but i am not exactly sure what "cool effect" means. when you talk english esp in US you have to have certain accent otherwise no one will undertand you. ohh talk about guys.. i have experienced it.. if you go to parties guys just stare at us for no reason and try to give that "cool" smile (though it doesnt look good) and try sooo hard to impress girls. i think it is human nature to SHOW OFF, not only grils do that but guys do too. and esp when you are in nepali circle, people just want to show off whatever they have, be it those expensive gold jewelleries and sarees, or watches or cellfone, car,, it think it is in our culture to degrade other people by showing our belongings. and i am no different than others. when i hang out with my own friends i just dress up like myself, but when i am going to a nepali party i have to look the best, and wear new beads or expensive dresses and want to look preety. and in your experience have you seen anyone in nepali parties who is not dressed right? guys and girls both??? you know its just us, we all got this SHOW OFF personality.
